Adrian,
You're omitting the underlying point. Since Catholics do not interpret
(pick a passage) the way (pick a church, denomination or sect) do, they
have altered scripture, for only my (repeat latter entry) interprets it
correctly. This is especially problematic for Protestants because they
reject magisterium and tradition.
